[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
I'll take the liberty and end this conversation: If you are upset because YOU updated your phone to 2.3 without reading what it did, and are upset that HTC locked the bootloader, then go ahead and call sprint. Tell them you want a brand new Nexus S because you can't root your phone. Go ahead and do this, and they will laugh their asses off at you.

Replacement phones are NOT an upgrade program, neither is Asurion. If you are unhappy with the phone you have, then BUY A NEW ONE. DON'T scam sprint or asurion into giving you a new one because you WANT a different phone and don't want to pay for one.

If I bought a Mustang for the sole purpose of upgrading the engine as soon as I bought it, and for some reason Ford made it so you couldn't upgrade the engine, I don't to crying and whining to ford to give me a brand new car of another model. It would be MY fault for not doing my research to learn that you can't put another engine in it.

Now, if you have a LEGITIMATE issue with the phone, and need the device to be replaced, you have every right to call sprint and ask for a replacement. But this does NOT guarantee you will get a Nexus. The evo is now EOL, so the supplies of new and refurbs are limited. So IF they are out of stock of evo's they will give you a nexus. But if they have the stock, you will get another evo. Do NOT keep calling sprint and demanding they give you a brand new nexus. That is a **** MOVE and it's called scamming, it's illegal.

If you want a new phone, BUY ONE. Simple as that.
[EVO 4G General] schmay33:
Hahaha big companies scam people like you everyday. Its called being resourceful and standing up for yourself. If you are not happy with a crap product that has screen, battery, speaker, charging port issues (just to name a few off the top of my head) then I would hope you would call to complain and get the most out of the 200$ and the 2 years. Its not a scam. Everybody keeps saying its scamming, but I don't see anybody showing proof that it is a scam to complain about your phone and then have them send you a replacement phone.

How can we grow as a community if we do nothing but spit on each other because we are afraid the other will do it to us?
[EVO 4G General] Lokifish Marz:
Lets make this as simple as possible so there is no confusion.

A customer came in to my store *****ing and complaining because they couldn't root 2.3 on their Evo. They threatened to cancel if we didn't give them a new Nexus. In order to retain the customer I had to order a new Nexus. Meanwhile the same thing was going on on other stores in the region.

The very next day a customer comes in with their third refurb Evo in a week. Instead of ordering another refurb I was going to order them a new Evo Shift which was also on the exchange list. When I went to order the Evo Shift, it as well as the Nexus, 3D and White Evo were no longer on the list. After looking into it it was because of assholes like the first customer crying "I can't root my Evo. Give me a Nexus".

If you want a Nexus, 3D, Shift or White Evo because you can't root your 2.3 OTA Evo, piss off you immature little brat you are stealing my air.

If you would like me to order you a Nexus, 3D, Shift because your replacement for your replacement is crap, too bad because whiny little assholes have have made it so that I can't.

Hey everyone, I've installed Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1 a couple of weeks ago, but 2 "problems" arose:

- I cannot get the vibrate-function working.. I've searched everywhere to enable this when receiving a phone-call/text, but nothing seems to work :confused:

- Sometimes I find my WiFi enabled, even though I disabled it.. I cannot find the setting that prevents this automatic WiFi connection :confused:

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

Anyone know of a good backup program that restores applications SILENTLY?

I just tried Titanium and restoring 44 apps is a pain. Maybe I'm missing the option? Also a little disappointed some apps couldn't be restored.

I think I heard App Monster is good. Suggestions?

Hi all,

I tried three different ROMs, specific P509 ROMs for my 509 and even though it appears everything goes through, even though I can see the "data" icon and the directional arrows flashing as if it is getting data - I can't seem to be able to go anywhere - not a website, not a mail server, not even the android marketplace.

Any idea what's going on? I am on T-Mobile and currently on the Cyanogenmod ROM... my APN settings appear to be correct however for whatever reason it keeps failing...

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

It says CDMA version of the upcoming Puccini (GSM tablet). So no, its not a 3VO killer.
[HTC EVO 3D] ncadden:
Is it worth upgrading to the 3vo from the og if you're due for an annual full upgrade in september?
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Yep. Technology is moving fast enough that our phone is obselete in a years time.

Probably not. Wait until you get your full upgrade. Something better may be out in September.
[HTC EVO 3D] el_chamuco:
They say that it could be a table but they not sure

Yea I was looking for more news about sg2 and I found this

That's pretty much all you got? Evo 3D vs X phone threads? You just trolling hard, dude. Or should we forget your Evo vs SGS2 thread etc?
[HTC EVO 3D] metko:
im 99% sure that this is the puccini tablet cause htc isnt famous for its screens :D :D if that woud be a samsung than that woud be something different and i hope in september will breeng us new devices cause i want to get one as htc failed with the gsm evo 3d and i woud newer by a high end device in september when new devices are anounced and i hope apple will bring us something exciting and new with the iphone 5
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
Ooooo a table? To hell with my galaxy 10.1 tablet... Sign me up!
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
I think you would still be ok with the 3vo, however I would probably hold off judgement until then... By then you might have a solid Nexus Prime release date.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
If it has ice cream update will definitely be a evo killer lol, but doubt it and it looks like an update thunderbolt when you look at the device id is almost the same as the thunderbolt (really nice device loved the screen on the phone)

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d :P
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I wouldn't. If you have the will power to wait then just wait. If nothing else you can still get a 3D in September
[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
Feel free to flame me on this one... BUT 3vo was a month by month, day by day brutal countdown after video of it back in WHEN? AND WE FINALLY HAVE IT. and iphone 5 is going to be released when? And this will hit the market with s-off for devs when? But it may be a tablet or a phone? with the same processor we have NOW ON THE 3VO AWESOME! CANT WAIT FOR THE KERNALS!
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
You still at it huh Rene?
[HTC EVO 3D] Candar:
I would wait for the upgrade to get it on the cheap, but consider that we are just coming out of a round of processor releases, and if the last two cycles are any indication it will be about 16-18 months before anything that would count as a legitimate upgrade to the 3d will actually come out, so you'll be pretty close to another upgrade by then.

also in response to thread: really? i mean, we have 1.5ghz processors already and i dont think resolution has proven itself to be the metric by which phones live or die.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
Its also on 2.3.4 so its most definetly not. The Puccini is a honeycomb device
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
This is a gingerbread device. Not a tablet
[HTC EVO 3D] :
These Resolution sizes are getting pretty ridiculous now. 1280x720? Makes it harder to find a good pic for a wallpaper.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
I just hate higher resolution and when the OS doesn't support it naturally, like qHD display and some apps, as long the OS supports it in ok with it

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heebeegeebs:
I have a Canadian Bell Mobility GS2.

I9100MUG KG2

android 2.3.3

No problems connecting to PC thru USB, bluetooth, or kies wifi.

Kies is supposed to update the firmware automatically, but has given me a message that my version of phone doesnt support firmware upgrades. Does this mean I'm stuck with my firmware, or does it mean that I'm already up to date?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
It means there hasn't been an update released for the Bell phone yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7almeida:
Does anyone know if the Bell firmware can be changed to an EU firmware, so we are able to install custom ROMs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Yes, it works. However, there is no way to go back to stock bell firmware right now, so you're voiding your warranty by doing so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7almeida:
Thanks Electroz, your help is much appreciated.

Would I have to flash a stock EU from first so I can get CWM on the phone? I am very sorry if this sounds like a noob question, but I am very new to the SG2 and a lot of this is a bit foreign to me right now, I am used to the rooting and installing on the x10.

If there is a thread I can search to guide me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it, or what I should be searching for, it would help alot. Looking at some of the custom ROMs people are putting out, they look amazing and I would love to try them out :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Nope, you can just flash a cwm kernel and install the custom rom from there. No need to flash an EU rom first.

Hi!

Im just chugging this question out there if anyone knows the answer im gonna be gland and also the devs of Plex as this regards.

I bought plex the other day witch is a video streaming app x-platform witch is good and all, but it has problems with the new gingerbread release i only get a blackscreen when viewing videos and need to resort to a workaround witch is explaind in another post here on xda. The thing is it does work on the old firmware ie android 2.1. My question is what has changed in between the two releases that can affect this? is it DRMs or videodrivers. Im a total noob in the area of coding and such but i want to forward this to the plex devs since the X10 is not the only device with this problem.

to try and make data work i guess???

anyway i have tried to odin with no luck still no 3g :(

i'm thinking if i can get the proper NV items i can flash it and hopefully

bring 3g back! then flash it for him the right way to cricket!!

DO NOT USE THE MOTO FLASH TO CRICKET IT WILL BRICK YOUR 3G.

it does with htc phones!

[HTC EVO 3D] h_22_accord:
Been noticing ever since performing S off and rooting my evo 3d every custom rom i flash still gets the same benchmark results with quadrant,linpack, and smartbench or worse then running stock. Even with running Rc Mix overclock kernel with numerous roms and setting clock speed to 1.5 and 1.7 gighrz oc benchmark numbers are significantly worse then stock. I know these tests are pretty much for bragging rights and not real world usage,but coming from an inspire 4g when i oced to over 1.5 was getting 3000+ on quadrant.
[HTC EVO 3D] poweroutlet:
I haven't looked too deep into it, but I've noticed some rooted devices around here pushing 7500 on CF-bench which is much more than the SGSII and over 3000 as well on quadrant.

Scores will continue to significantly increase once we have an AOSP rom/CM with more optimized kernels.
[HTC EVO 3D] gfullwr70:
Use setcpu and set both sliders to Max and governor to performance and retest

I noticed a huge performance drop after s-off, now i am s- on and my wildfire is running grate
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
S-OFF and S-ON have NOTHING to do with the performance of your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] AirLynk Technologies:
He is Correct. S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.

S on, s off... Nothing to do with phones performance!

Hi.

I flashed a rom and lost connection with the network and have only "emergency calls only" thingy..

I did a nandroid restore, but still no possibillities to call out.. get: "mobile network not available"

Then i checked settings->about->status -> network. and it says Unknown. So i

tried to select a network manually, but I only get the message: "unable to connect. Try later"

then i see my imei, and it looks wierd. 00499901064XXXX

but on the back of my phone its: 35815004574XXXX

when you flash a rom, does it change the imei, or is it suppose to be that way?

can anyone help me with this problem? since i cant call out at all :confused:

tnx for all help in advanced :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Flashing ROMs shouldn't affect your IMEI.

The phone has a security storage area called "EFS", it's likely that one is corrupted, you IMEI you see is a dummy IMEI.

It sounds like you never mafe a backup of said EFS data, so best thing to do is to flash back a stock ROM and return it for replacement or repair.

There have already been numerous cases where the EFS corrupted out of no aparent reason....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwj5279955:
There is a thread in development that guides you to do an efs backup. I just copied my whole efs folder to my external sd card and backed up on my computer. Then if you corrupt the one on your phone, you can copy the backup you made over the corrupted efs folder.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwj5279955:
This is the first and foremost thing for users to do right after you root.

Running rooted GB on my DroidX and want to know how to put a notification sound file (facebook_pop.m4a) in the notifications folder in the phone memory (internal storage), so that when my SD card gets dismounted for use on a PC, the notification sound "facebook pop" still works. Right now every time I connect for USB Mass Storage it defaults to the annoying short ring notification sound file, since it can no longer find the Facebook pop file.

Every time I try to copy the facebook pop m4a file into the internal storage, it says Access Denied. I have tried using AndExplorer and the built in "Files" app.

Thanks in advance!

p.s. - I also need to know how to change the notification tone for just my TXT messages to something different, but leave every other notification to still use the 'facebook pop' tone
[Droid X General] V1215:
You probably need to change the directory to read and write (R/W) as opposed to read only.

I know Root Explorer has the option. Unsure of those two apps.
[Droid X General] Ace42:
Yes he has to push the sound to

/system/media/audio/notifications

To change txt sound you may have to change the notification sound via settings->sound, or thru the actual sms app on your droid.
[Droid X General] runnirr:
If the proplem is read/write you can use terminal emulator to put the files where you need them. I'd only recommend this if you are familiar with terminal.

If you know where the files need to go, I can help with the commands.

mount -o remount,rw /system

The above command will make your system folder writable. If you need more help, let me know.
